Hey all,
I was wondering how everyone was handling the recent Edgerank algorithm change. After working hard to post pics and valuable links for content, a lot less people are seeing them. It’s frustrating to pay for advertising or do things to get likes and then a very small few see each post.
Has anyone made some effective adjustments?
Thanks!

i hate this also …. what ive done is   add about 20% in text only posts…. and keep   putting   the much more popular   picture posts on…im so frustrated knowing that so many a rent seeing what they really like…i get much more engagement on the picture posts… but i know ive fallen off of some important peoples   pages[a huge customer from far away],,,they told me….. then others who seem silent are still on so ????
ii hope this subject dosnt   fade away…its a big one to me….
another problem isee that isnt discussed is the LAZY LIKERS….   ones who like my page but never bother to do anything….they signed up , isnt that enough?  i have never asked for likes or put   like contests on and dont think it fits me or would go over well anyway…   our page is awonderful huge tool for us…
@scott-murray what are you doing?

@scott-murray I have added more text-only posts, generally in the morning (EST). Still I find that the truly “viral” content does well even if it doesn’t receive a huge number of views (there are likes, shares and comments). It’s a matter of hitting that sweet spot which is still a tad elusive…

Thanks, Kristy! Yeah, I’ve read about the success of more text-only posts. I plan on using more of those in the mix.

We’re posting 98% large warm and fuzzy images that garner comments like ”D’awwwwwwww!!!! that get 660 likes 145 shares and seen by 5606 people – it’s all about knowing your audience. The image that garnered those stats was a quick share of a fan and I got lucky but I spend 10 – 40 minutes seeking the “right” images for every post along with the appropriate comment & link. We get very little traction with video and even less with text. We do not pay to promote posts only to drive traffic to the page

@Scott Murray edgerank is about relevancy just like google’s algo – it’s also about consistency. You do not post daily which is probably hurting you. Also let’s say I’m unemployed and I’m seeking training am I going to engage with a facebook page having images of a hard working technicians solving a problem in front of racks of blade servers or a courtroom scenario or Winnie the Pooh? Winnie the Pooh? really? That’s why your fan page visitors are saying TTFN
